A Gulf job offer usually comes with an employer-sponsored work visa, arranged after you accept and typically requiring your original qualifications, a clean police record certificate, and a medical test in-country. Timelines vary by market and role, from a few weeks to a couple of months, so confirm the expected start date with the employer rather than assuming it matches the offer letter.
Ask directly whether housing, a housing allowance or relocation costs are included — Gulf offers vary widely on this, and it is a normal, expected question rather than an awkward one. The same applies to annual flights home and end-of-service benefits, which are standard in most Gulf markets but differ by country and employer.
Check the city, not just the country. Cost of living, commute times and the size of an expatriate community differ significantly between, for example, Riyadh and Jeddah, or Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The location field on every My-Wazifah listing states the actual city, not just the country, so you can factor this in before applying.
Before accepting, get the employment terms in writing — salary, currency, probation period and notice period — and keep a copy. Verbal agreements made during an interview are not always carried through to the final contract, and having the written offer protects you either way.
